Fang Xin was all too familiar with that voice.
He had heard those two voices the first time he entered Leiyin Valley.
It was none other than the voices of those two black-skinned ghosts.
Previously, these two black-skinned ghosts had burrowed into the murals and disappeared.
He never expected them to appear in this place again.
It was simply that the voices of these two black-skinned ghosts were too demonic; it was hard not to remember them.
Fang Xin looked in the direction of the sound.
The two black-skinned ghosts in the mural grew larger and larger.
Finally, they leaped out of the mural.
Appearing in the Buddhist hall.
However, at this moment, the dust in the Buddhist hall, transformed into Sanskrit, surged into the mural like a torrent.
As soon as the two black-skinned ghosts came out, their bodies were mostly swept back in by the torrent.
"Misika! Mosika!!!" The two black-skinned ghosts grabbed towards the divine platform outside, attempting to avoid the torrent.
Fang Xin mustered all his strength and dragged Situ Shenshu out of the blood ring.
Just as Situ Shenshu was dragged out of the blood ring by Fang Xin.
Rumble!
The entire Lingzhao Mountain, as well as the entire God and Demon Ruins, seemed to tremble.
Situ Shenshu laughed uproariously, looking up at the sky.
The void trembled.
The golden dust-Sanskrit characters rushed towards Situ Shenshu.
But they were all blocked by the rolling demonic energy surrounding Situ Shenshu's body.
Situ Shenshu's gaze flickered, looking at the two black-skinned ghosts.
He raised his hand and grabbed at the two black-skinned ghosts.
The two black-skinned ghosts were directly pulled out of the mural by Situ Shenshu.
At close range, Fang Xin observed the two black-skinned ghosts.
They looked very abstract.
Situ Shenshu pushed the two black-skinned ghosts in front of Fang Xin, saying, "My Lord, take them in. These two little ghosts are Treasure Hunting Boys; they can help you find treasure artifacts within a specific range, and they can also control others' treasure artifacts. In battle, if they possess your treasure artifacts, they can even cause others' treasure artifacts to malfunction!"
At this moment, the Sanskrit torrent was rolling.
The two little ghosts clutched Situ Shenshu's robes, their lower bodies blown sideways by the torrent, looking at Fang Xin expectantly. It seemed that under Situ Shenshu's coercion, they had already submitted to Fang Xin and wanted to follow him.
Fang Xin didn't say anything superfluous and immediately took in the two little ghosts.
His gaze fixed on the mural. According to what Situ Shenshu had said earlier, this mural was one of the Buddhist sect's heavy treasures, the Ukiyo-e, and it was also a top-notch treasure artifact.
Sensing Fang Xin's thoughts, Situ Shenshu said, "My Lord, with your current strength, you cannot take this Ukiyo-e! There will be plenty of time in the future! For now, it's best for us to leave. The Rewind Treasure Mirror has left the eye of the needle, and the inner world of the Ukiyo-e is in chaos. That Buddha must have left a backup plan, and staying here might be dangerous!"
Fang Xin didn't need Situ Shenshu to say anything; he already felt that something was wrong.
A rustling sound came from the backyard.
It seemed that the Bodhi tree in the backyard was swaying. Thinking of what Miao Neng had said earlier, that he had entered the Ukiyo-e because of the Bodhi tree, Fang Xin flashed out without a word.
Leaving the Buddhist hall, Fang Xin saw the huge Buddha statue standing outside Lingzhao Mountain with its eyes lowered. Compassion flowed in the Buddha statue's eyes, and a massive formation was activated. A hemispherical protective shield was slowly forming, seemingly to envelop the entire Lingzhao Mountain.
Fang Xin used his fastest speed, continuously flashing, and teleported towards the exit.
Less than ten seconds after he exited through a crack in the protective shield, the shield completely formed, preventing those inside from coming out and those outside from entering.
Fang Xin was somewhat exhausted.
He sat on the ground, pale-faced, his legs shaking uncontrollably. Fortunately, he had seven Divine Springs, allowing him to use the instantaneous flash skill multiple times; otherwise, he would have been trapped inside today.
Situ Shenshu stood beside Fang Xin.
This Monk was very handsome, and along with his handsomeness, he carried a hint of evil.
Situ Shenshu's eyes reflected the golden protective shield, under which Sanskrit characters rolled and danced according to the rules.
It was a while before he recovered his senses.
"My Lord! Your current strength is still too weak! This Monk's strength relies on your strength!"
Fang Xin sat up straight again, "You said your talent is weakening?"
"Yes!"
"By common sense, if I can unleash your strength to Level 7 Warrior, then if your talent is weakening, wouldn't you be able to fight a Level 8 Warrior to a standstill?"
Situ Shenshu laughed upon hearing this, "Fight a Level 8 Warrior to a standstill? This Monk has forgotten how many years it's been since he fought an ant of Level 8 Warrior. To a standstill? Hahaha, those four words are an insult to This Monk!"
"Alright, however glorious the past was, it's all in the past. Now you follow me, and I'll help you start over. You charge into battle for me, and I'll help you rise again. Let's grow stronger together and create brilliance!"
Situ Shenshu laughed heartily, "Grow stronger! Create brilliance!"
Fang Xin grabbed a god and demon marrow, crushed it, and swallowed all the energy that spilled out. Immediately, his physical strength recovered, and he felt full of energy.
He couldn't help but take another look at the god and demon marrow; this thing was truly good.
Fang Xin then refocused his gaze on the Rewind Treasure Mirror.
As his mental power seeped into it, a series of phantom images appeared in Fang Xin's mind. After careful observation, he realized that these phantom images, when connected, were precisely his actions over the past fifteen minutes.
Through the Rewind Treasure Mirror, Fang Xin could choose to return to any point he had passed within the last fifteen minutes.
Besides that, there was also a separate node. That node was the image of himself looking up at the Rewind Treasure Mirror on the Buddha's chest. It seemed that the Buddhist hall with the Rewind Treasure Mirror earlier contained a Divine Spring, and that place had no time limit. Fang Xin could return to the Buddhist hall at any time.
Moreover, this item had two options: one was to return to any time node within fifteen minutes, and the other was to return to any spatial node of his actions within fifteen minutes. When returning to a spatial node, he could also restore himself to peak condition, but the restoration did not include mental power.
Fang Xin played with this item back and forth; this thing was simply too heaven-defying.
However, this item required a large amount of mental power.
Fang Xin felt that using it once could drain the mental power from one of his Divine Springs. Fortunately, he had seven Divine Springs.
Checking the time, Fang Xin prepared to go to the Water Moon Forbidden Area to look for the Qilin's whereabouts.
If he could find the Qilin, then this trip would be a huge profit: he killed Huo Shi, took in Situ Shenshu, obtained the Rewind Treasure Mirror, and if he also obtained the Qilin, wouldn't he soar?
No matter how many rewards the first place on the Dragon-Tiger Rankings offered, how could it compare to what Fang Xin gained on this trip?
Fang Xin quickly headed towards the Water Moon Forbidden Area according to the map.
Upon arrival, he found a vast body of water, its surface calm, like a treasure mirror embedded in the earth. Two massive stones stood on the shore, with another massive stone horizontally placed on top of them, forming a stone gate.
Four large characters were inscribed on the stone gate.
Water Moon Grotto Heaven.
However, these four characters were displayed as a mirror image.
Fang Xin walked through the stone gate, but there was nothing. He wandered around for a long time.
Still, he couldn't discern any clues.
Fang Xin immediately asked Situ Shenshu, "How do I get in here?"
Situ Shenshu laughed, "Water Moon Grotto Heaven, naturally it's the literal meaning: moon in the water, flowers in the mirror. Look into the water, and the entrance is naturally in the water!"
Fang Xin looked at the water's surface, which reflected all the scenery on the shore, including the stone gate inscribed with 'Water Moon Grotto Heaven'.
Looking at the reflection in the water, the characters on the stone gate were correctly oriented.
After a brief thought, Fang Xin walked in.
Upon entering the water, there was first a silence that isolated external sounds. After swimming through the darkness of the water for a while, a cave light suddenly appeared before his eyes. Fang Xin felt his body lighten, as if he had just emerged from the water.
With his feet on the ground, Fang Xin looked left and right.
He found the same stone gate standing before him, inscribed with the characters 'Water Moon Grotto Heaven'.
Passing through the stone gate.
It was a narrow, linear gorge.
At first it was narrow, barely allowing a person through, but after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.
A primal aura greeted him, as if it were a paradise hidden from the world.
In the distance, there were also tribes of varying sizes.
Fang Xin took two steps and smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
He couldn't help but be surprised, wondering how there could be roasted meat in this place.
After a few more steps, he saw a bonfire not far away, flames licking the air, and the fire crackling.
Beside the bonfire sat a fiery red nine-tailed fox roasting a chicken.
A wine gourd was placed beside the fiery red nine-tailed fox, its left paw holding a cigarette, and its right paw roasting a chicken on a branch.
Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Fang Xin, the fiery red nine-tailed fox was so startled that its paw trembled, but it quickly regained its composure.
The man and the fox stared at each other.
A few seconds later.
The fiery red fox spoke first, uttering human words.
"What are you looking at, your mom!"
